With my car when driving at a steady speed the turbo puts out a steady 2-3 lbs of boost, a electric leaf blower could provide 2-3 lbs with out to much draw.
I bet they have some cheap battery powered leaf blowers, that may suffice, i would test the output in lbs before i went to far with the idea.
It should be possible to measure a leaf blowers force, in lbs.

Realistically 10 lbs of boost or more should be the goal.
Although 5 lbs would be helpful, but barely.
